India's Aditya‑L1 and ESA's Proba‑3 Joint Study Unveils New Data on Solar Flares and CMEs
Indian and European space agencies have jointly analyzed the Sun’s powerful flares and coronal mass ejections, releasing unprecedented data under the leadership of Bangalore‑based scientists.
India’s Aditya‑L1 mission and the European Space Agency’s Proba‑3 satellite have completed a joint investigation of the Sun’s most intense flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), publishing a comprehensive data set that sheds new light on these solar phenomena.
The collaboration combined observations from Aditya‑L1’s solar coronagraph and Proba‑3’s formation‑flying instruments, enabling scientists to capture high‑resolution images and magnetic field measurements of eruptive events that were previously difficult to resolve.
Researchers in Bangalore led the analysis, confirming that the combined data provide clearer insights into the initiation mechanisms of CMEs and the energy release processes of solar flares, which are critical for improving space‑weather forecasting.
The findings, released today, are expected to enhance predictive models used by satellite operators and power‑grid managers, and they underscore the growing importance of international cooperation in space science research.
